This work examines the effect of horizontal resolution and topography on the North American monsoon (NAM) in experiments with an atmospheric general circulation model....

Decarbonization in the immediate future is required to limit global mean temperature (GMT) increase to 2 degrees C relative to preindustrial conditions, if geoengineering is not...

Numerical models are crucial to understand and/or predict past and future soil organic carbon dynamics. For those models aiming at prediction, validation is a critical step to...

This study presents airborne in situ and satellite remote sensing climatologies of cirrus clouds and humidity. The climatologies serve as a guide to the properties of cirrus...

The impact of increased model horizontal resolution on climate prediction performance is examined by comparing results from low-resolution (LR) and high-resolution (HR) decadal...

The papers presented in this document summarize the research and programming work completed during the summer of 1978 by eight students who participated in the Summer Fellowship...

Modeling and paleoclimate proxy-based studies suggest that equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) depends on the background climate state, though the reason is not thoroughly...

The global distribution of atmospheric ozone from August 2004 to December 2008 observed by Aura Microwave Limb Sounder is used to calculate the daily ozone heating rate....

Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) constitute only a fraction of convective systems in the tropics but significantly impact tropical weather and global climate. Early studies...

Information about moisture distribution and transportation in the preconvection environment is very important for nowcasting and forecasting severe weather events. The Advanced...

It has already been shown that the Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (TIE-GCM) is capable of reproducing the pre-reversal enhancement (PRE) of...

Although optical components in Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers are preferably wedged, in practice, infrared spectra typically suffer from the effects of optical...

Spatiotemporal variability in ozone dry deposition is often overlooked despite its implications for interpreting and modeling tropospheric ozone concentrations accurately....

Observations of a comprehensive suite of inorganic and organic trace gases, including non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs), halogenated organics and oxygenated volatile organic...

The eruption of Mt. Tambora in 1815 was the largest volcanic eruption of the past 500 years. The eruption had significant climatic impacts, leading to the 1816 "year without a...

The development of Hurricane Catarina over the western South Atlantic Ocean in March 2004 marks the first time that the existence of a hurricane has been confirmed by analysis...

Regional sea surface temperature (SST) mode variabilities, especially the La Nina-like Pacific Ocean temperature pattern known as the negative phase of the interdecadal Pacific...

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) plays an important role in climate, transporting heat and salt to the subpolar North Atlantic. The AMOC’s...

A large-eddy simulation (LES) framework with an "eddy injection'' technique has been developed that ensures a majority of turbulent kinetic energy in numerically simulated...

Context. Using unique quadrature observations with the two STEREO spacecraft, we investigate coronal dimmings at the onset of small-scale eruptions. In CMEs they are believed to...
